For the last several years, the animation sector has been experiencing an exceptional impetus, accelerated by the platforms incessant hunger. In this favourable context, how do studios structure themselves and create new alliances to sustainably support this growth and better respond to future challenges?

  • 9:00 am - Intellectual property: a strategic issue for animation studios

In the fierce battle between animation studios and broadcasters, IP acquisitions (books, comics, video games, etc.) are becoming a major strategic issue for developing new projects and attracting already existing communities. How do publishers position themselves in the animation market? What purchasing strategy and negotiation power do producers have?

Speakers: Sandrine Nguyen, Karine Riahi and Melissa Wolfe

  •  10:00 am - NFT & Blockchain: what are the opportunities for animation?

In a high-risk activity sector, reassuring a film’s financial partners about the chain of rights and the rise in revenues becomes a crucial issue to be able to attract new investors. Also, the emergence of the NFT market opens up new opportunities for those in animation to finance their productions, diversify their income or set up a new ecosystem to be able to create, finance and distribute their content. In a world where standards and models have yet to be invented, how do you make the right decisions and correctly structure your NFT and blockchain strategy?

Speakers: Yannick Bossenmeyer-Grivet, Patrice Poujol, Mark Warshaw and Max Howard

  • 11:00 am - Animation studios: how do you finance your growth?

Now, for animation studios to develop and be structured sustainably, they must call on new financial resources and integrate content production through a 360-degree vision. Between investment funds (private equity, VC) and market capitalization, how do you establish a good balance between financial need and independence?

Speakers: Marc du Pontavice, Maureen Fan, Gilles Gaillard and Florence Aviles
